Temporary administration move a 'preemptive signal' to EU, says Russian business chief
RSPP head Alexander Shokhin says he expects continued attempts to use Russian assets, according to TASS.
Alexander Shokhin, head of the Russian Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs (RSPP), has described the introduction of temporary administration measures as a preemptive signal directed at the European Union, according to TASS.
Shokhin said he expects attempts to use Russian assets to continue, the report said, without elaborating on which specific assets or mechanisms he was referring to.
Ongoing dispute over Russian assets
The comments touch on the broader, ongoing dispute between Russia and Western governments over the handling of Russian state and private assets that have been affected by sanctions measures since 2022.
The report does not specify further details on the nature of the "temporary administration" referenced, nor does it include a direct response from EU officials to Shokhin's remarks.
Business leaders in Russia have periodically weighed in publicly on asset-related disputes as they continue to affect trade and investment relations between Moscow and Western capitals.
Additional context on the timing or specific triggers behind Shokhin's comments was not included in the material available.
